Matthew Corbett, a former secretary to a justice of the peace and now a junior “problem solver” at the Herrald detective bureau, became a celebrity in colonial New York: the first tabloid in the New World, Earwig, colorfully depicted his exploits, including - exposing a serial killer nicknamed Masochnik. And so Governor Lord Cornbury entrusts Matthew and his senior partner Hudson Greathouse with a particularly important task - to transport from the Westerwick Mental Hospital the insidious murderer Tyrantus Morga, whose extradition the metropolis demands; he must stand trial in London for numerous murders, robberies and other crimes. Of course, Mr. Morg will use all his strength and cunning to escape from the guards... “A fascinating historical detective story from an author who could compete in his field with the “king of horror” Stephen King himself” (Publishers Weekly) is published in a new translation, as well as additional materials.
